Is this the best defensive draft I’ve ever seen? I’m not sure I’d go that far. However, the upcoming NFL Draft is really loaded with defensive linemen so I posed this question to Daniel Jeremiah, the NFL Network’s lead draft analyst now that Mike Mayock is off to the Raiders.

“It’s the best DL group I’ve seen, yes,” Jeremiah said via text. “Not defense overall. No depth at linebacker, terrible at corner and average at best with safeties.”

So maybe we should pump the brakes a little on the hype of this overall draft, but not on the guys up front. The best players on tape were the best players at the combine. It was an incredible Saturday morning when all of the defensive linemen worked out. The numbers were eye-popping. And one of the top players, Houston’s Ed Oliver, didn’t even do anything. Some teams wanted him to attempt to work out at middle linebacker. He is that talented.
